What happens when your confidence is shattered to its core? After experiencing severe postpartum depression and anxiety, Amanda Cahill found herself staring at photos from her son's first birthday party, unable to recognize the woman with the forced smile and joyless eyes looking back at her. This pivotal moment launched her on a journey to rediscover herself—a journey she's now sharing through her book "Redefining You."

In this powerful conversation between Bree and Amanda, Amanda reveals how fitness became her foundation not for aesthetic reasons, but to prove her mental strength. "I wanted to be that fit, happy, healthy mom," she shares, explaining how showing up for herself daily rebuilt her confidence from the inside out. Her transformative approach focuses on identity rather than arbitrary goals, helping women break free from the all-or-nothing thinking that keeps them trapped in start-over cycles every Monday or January.

Whether you're experiencing a major life transition or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode offers a practical four-step framework for redefining who you are and building lasting confidence from within. As Amanda wisely puts it: "Success isn't built on flawless execution—it's built on resilience and recommitment every single day."
